Bainbridge Graduate Institute announced the creation of a new university called Pinchot on Thursday.
Pinchot will encompass several educational
programs, including BGI,
leadership school Organizational
Systems Renewal, and professional development program Pinchot Edge. MBAs will be offered
in sustainable business and sustainable systems, as well as a
master’s in organizational leadership through OSR.
Pinchot will give students access to a broader range of disciplines, according to a news release. The university is positioning itself as an “incubator for students who hope to drive change from within major corporations and organizations, or become social entrepreneurs.”
“Graduates need the ability to do business in a way that brings about the changes they hope to see in the world,” said Gifford Pinchot III, who co-founded BGI and the new Pinchot university. “To do this they need a holistic combination of financial acumen, sales skills, marketing savvy, sustainable operations and leadership skills.”
Pinchot courses will combine online and in-person learning. Programs will be offered in Seattle and on Bainbridge Island.
